- Dead Head Fred is announced. You start out as Fred, a guy trying to help a dame. You wake up tied and headless. You will carry all enemies’ heads in a bag, which can be attached at your disposal.
While Fred has a number of melee attacks available to him that he can string together into combos, the majority of his abilities come from the various heads that he'll collect along the way. There will be 9 different heads available to you, splintered into two separate classes: Depletible and core heads. Depletable heads are ones that you'll inevitably run out of due to continual use. For instance, we were told of a head that spits bones at your enemies, which will finally run out of projectiles as you continually use it. Core heads, on the other hand, can be used as many times as you want to get you through the various environmental puzzles and opponents that attack you in the world. Fred's initial "jarhead" is a good example of this, which helps you decapitate opponents and find new equipment that you can use.
